Method

Step 1

Place the salmon in a bowl and add the sesame oil and five-spice, mixing well to coat the salmon.

Step 2

Put some of the broccoli and spring onions into a mug, add some salmon and then more broccoli, distributing evenly. You can cram it in as it will shrink a little when cooked.

Step 3

Add 2 tsp water then cover with cling film and pierce a hole in the top.

Step 4

Heat for 2 minutes, leave to stand for 1 minute before removing the film and serving.

Recipe tips

Try adding other vegetables, such as mangetout or thin slices of pepper.
For a tandoori twist, try using curry powder in place of the Chinese five-spice powder.
